42nd Street–Bryant Park is a station on the IND Sixth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway at Bryant Park in Manhattan. It has four tracks and two island platforms. A mezzanine originally extended south from 42nd Street to the 34th Street station, with additional entrances at 38th Street. The passageway was long, dim, and lightly-traveled. It was closed in the mid-1980s after a murder took place there. It is now used for storage.
A passageway connecting to Fifth Avenue–Bryant Park on the IRT Flushing Line was not originally present, but passengers were given paper tickets for a free transfer between the two stations. The passageway was completed in 1968, and the entire station complex was fully renovated in 1998. Connections can be made to M42 and M104 buses.

HELLO, NEW YORK
No hay nada bueno en ti. Por eso te amo.
J. M. Fonollosa, "Ciudad del Hombre: New York"

Realmente o José María Fonollosa, para mim, é o poeta catalão que melhor descreve a "Big Apple". No seu livro "Destrucción de la Mañana" apresenta este poema:
28
El aire es fresco, frío, por la calle.
Aposté mi fortuna a un solo envite
creyendo, apresurado, que tenía
los naipes de escalera de color.
Y resultó un farol al enseñarlos.
Nunca podré tener acceso al podio.
No es válida la entrada que poseo.
Toda mi vida he estado en la estación
donde no pasa el tren que yo aguardaba.
Parabéns pelas fotografias (que são fantásticas)
